Diane Arkenstone Creates Memorizing New Age Melodies - Oldies 97.7 FM

Windsor, United States – October 9, 2019 / Diane Arkenstone /

Diane Arkenstone wrote her first song at three years old—and she hasn’t stopped writing since. Arkenstone finds meaning through composing and producing innovative new-age melodies. Her influence can be heard on nearly fifty different albums crossing multiple genres; one of her recent creations, The Best of Diane Arkenstone, earned the #1 ranking in the Top 100 airplay list in the new-age publication Zone Music Reporter. Diane’s lifelong pursuit of melody, meditation, sound, and soul has resulted in a calming collection of beautiful, heartfelt compositions.

Rather than chase fame or success, however, Arkenstone focuses on following where the music leads. At a young age, she began writing songs, playing the piano, and learning the guitar to express herself. She grew up one of eight children growing up on a ranch in California; as a result, she was always surrounded by nature, community, and love. Arkenstone’s early compositions blossomed in this accepting, open environment.

An Exploration of Music

When she began college, she founded a rock band called Enaid & Einalem to explore music professionally. She experimented with the emotions and rhythms of metal, punk, folk, and other genres—always weaving themes of love and peace into her compositions. Through Enaid & Einalem, she began sharing her soul and her journey with fans. She spent time training in operatic styles, too; this provided a strong foundation for her vocal work.

Today, Diane Arkenstone feels a kinship with musicians of many genres; however, she feels that New Age provides a unique medium for regaining closeness with one’s soul. In her experience, the style’s trance-like tones, lyrics, and rhythms help listeners escape from day-to-day analytical worries and restore childlike wonder. Arkenstone has created a variety of compositions for varying listening needs—including trance, ambient, world, Native American, Americana, and holiday music. Each piece holds Arkenstone’s vibrancy and soulful honesty.

Neo Pacifica Recordings

Arkenstone also owns her own record label. Dubbed “Neo Pacifica Recordings,” her label offers freedom and expression to several new-age artists, including Enaid and Earth Trybe. She also publishes her own music through her label. Because Arkenstone owns Neo Pacifica Recordings, she holds greater control over the music she releases. Every piece from Arkenstone stems from a place of genuine openness, energy, and love. Some pieces conform to her new-age image, while others cross genres, span cultures, and play with elements from many styles.

Arkenstone’s music is touching because it is sincere. It’s a result of her authentic journey through life. Every note, every harmony, every rhythm carries an honesty and an emotion like none other. It isn’t filtered through multiple brand managers, marketers, or trending producers; it’s Arkenstone, her whole self—her childhood at the ranch, her experimentation in punk and folk, her romance with New Age tones—and nothing less. From her natural-born excellence as a new-age artist to her versatility and creativity across musical styles, Arkenstone is an artist worth listening to. Her music is more than a melody: it’s a journey into self-discovery.
